I'm looking for someone like me, who thinks like me

Without bursting into a song from The Jungle Book, I want to meet someone like me.

I haven't yet and it makes me feel even worse about myself. 

I have chemical depression, anxiety and paranoia. It hasn't been brought on by trauma and/or life events, it just is. Hence, the chemical part of it. 

I feel crappy and lost and helpless all the time. I don't trust anyone and I'm convinced that people don't like me through overanalysing their texts. I would like someone around my age, 22, if not a bit older. 

I just need to speak to someone about the things that go on in my head without being looked at like what I'm saying is totally insane.. 

If there is anyone else like me who also needs to talk, please do. I'm here and I would love to talk to you.

Hey Dottie... your situation sounds similar to mine. Things have been going downhill lately. 

Hi SavageRainbow, can you tell us a little more about what is going on for you?

I am 21 and suffer from PMDD (which is completely chemical), anxiety, depression and PTSD. For as long as I can remember I have been this way.. the PMDD runs in the family. I would be happy to talk to anyone and even try and help someone.. 🙂

Me too; since age 12, now 38 😞

Have you engaged the help of an obstetrician/gynaecologist who (in cooperation with your mental health care providers) will investigate and treat the possible underlying hormonal cause of PMDD or ovarian cycle syndrome???

XOXOXO
